After an Oregon collision with another vehicle, what information must you exchange with the other driver?
-
A.
Only your insurance information.
-
B.
Name, address, license number, plate, and insurance. Correct
-
C.
Nothing: the police will collect everything.
-
D.
Just your phone number and license plate.
The answer is "Name, address, license number, plate, and insurance."
You must provide your name, address, driver license number, license plate number, and insurance information to the other driver, any passengers, and any injured pedestrian involved; you should collect the same items in return. If a person is killed or unconscious, remain at the scene until police arrive. A is what a driver reaches for out of an insurance-first habit, shrinking the five-item exchange down to the one item they always hand over.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only your insurance information.
Insurance is one of five required items, not the whole list. This answer reduces the five-item exchange to insurance alone, omitting name, address, license, and plate.
C. Nothing: the police will collect everything.
The handbook places the exchange duty on you, not the police. This answer shifts the driver's exchange responsibility onto police, contradicting the manual's directive to the driver.
D. Just your phone number and license plate.
The manual does not list a phone number, and it requires more than just the plate. This answer substitutes phone number for the items the manual actually lists and drops name, address, license, and insurance.
